Question: Preserving Orange Clove Pomanders..........? I am making Pomanders, the kind where you cover oranges with whole cloves. I have read that to preserve them, you need to shake them in a bag with Orris Root (and cinnamon and nutmeg powder for added scent). I was wondering if there are other herbs or extracts or spices that you can use to preserve them. I want them to last a long time as it is a lot of work to cover the oranges in cloves and I would like to enjoy the beauty and aroma as long as possible.

Answer: The process you are using is the only way I have ever made them. Each year I renew the fragrance by shaking them in the mixture again. I do seal them in plastic bags when they are in storage ( in a cool dry place )

Question: American Civil War-Era Names--Which do You Prefer (plus BQ)? I'm a history student, plus a name nerd, so I find names from past generations intriguing. Below is a list of first names of American Civil War Generals (both Union & Confederate). Please choose ONE NAME from each PAIR of names. Even if you don't like either, please choose the one you can stand better. Remember, this is just for FUN--I just find it interesting what names other people like. Thanks :-) Absalom ~or~ Armistead Adin ~or~ Albion Alpheus ~or~ Cadmus Amiel ~or~ Jubal August ~or~ Birkett Braxton ~or~ Carnot Cassius ~or~ Claudius Cullen ~or~ Emerson Cuvier ~or~ Evander Darius ~or~ Erasmus Ebenezer ~or~ Jasper Elkanah ~or~ Sterling Emory ~or~ Maxcy Eppa ~or~ Otho Green ~or~ Napoleon Gustavus ~or~ Justus Isham ~or~ Zachariah Kenner ~or~ Turner Lafayette ~or~ Tyree Leonidas ~or~ Marcellus Lorenzo ~or~ Orlando Orris ~or~ Regis Pleasant ~or~ Speed Romeyn ~or~ Zebulon Sullivan ~or~ Truman Theophilous ~or~ Theopholus Ulysses ~or~ Zealous BQ: Would you ever consider using any of these names? If so, which ones? @ Jennifer~~Um, I know that some of the names date back hundreds of years. I compiled the list b/c GENERALS in the CIVIL WAR (1860s) had these names. It's a common-thread type question.

Answer: Absalom (I like it, would never use it) Albion Alpheus (name of a river in Greece; I like it but would never use it) Amiel August Carnot Cassius (both bad Romans...hard choice!) Emerson Evander (like it, would never use it) Erasmus Jasper Elkanah Maxcy (I really don't like either) Otho Napoleon :) Justus Zachariah Kenner Lafayette Leonidas Orlando Regis Pleasant (both dreadful :) Zebulon Sullivan Theophilous Ulysses The only ones I would consider using are Emerson and August. I like a number of these in theory, but I certainly wouldn't want to actually give them to a child.
